Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

Shen You knew that she was not a genius at all.

He's just a cheater at best.

The reason I was able to master the "Tiger-Slaying Saber Technique" is because of Aunt Dou.

The reason why he was able to master the "Golden Snake Skill" was because of Third Sister.

"Now Huang Yaoshi wants me to master the 'Golden Snake Skill' in a week? Isn't that going to kill me?!" Shen You gritted her teeth.

The "Golden Snake Skill" is relatively easy to learn; you just need to be ruthless enough to yourself.

However, mastering the "Golden Snake Skill" requires a great deal of painstaking effort.

Practicing martial arts takes time, after all.

It's like he's now using a cheat code, but he's only mastered the "Tiger-Slaying Saber Technique." The other techniques, like the "White Ape Stance" and the "Tongbei Fist," are still at a minor level, far from being mastered, let alone perfected.

At the normal pace, it would probably take a year or two to perfect the "Golden Snake Skill," but now Huang Yaoshi is only giving him seven days.

"I'm really going to die!" Shen You clenched his fists. "Looks like I'll have to find a few more women!"

Since arriving at Renxintang, Shen You has been in various crises despite unlocking the "Fate Jade". He hasn't really thought much about women, but he tries to increase his fate value when he encounters one.

"But now it seems..." A resolute glint appeared in Shen You's eyes, "I have no choice but to become a scumbag and sleep with every woman I see!"

The thought of repeating the situation with Third Sister last night several more times made Shen You sigh. Not to mention, a woman who could so easily gain favor with Third Sister was probably impossible to find again. This realization made Shen You feel immense pressure.

"Oh, right, that kitten!" Shen You's heart skipped a beat. "It sent me a video of Third Sister last time, and it became my matchmaker. Could I find it and get more targets for me?"

In fact, Shen You still had a lot of questions to ask the kitten. For example, why it was lurking around her, why she ended up in the outer courtyard of Renxin Hall, and who her enemies were in Renxin Hall.

"I must find a way to see it one more time!" Shen You made up her mind.

Coming to his senses, Shen You heard Huang Yaoshi say again:

"You, educated youth, Yi'er has just officially become a Qingyi (a type of female role in Peking Opera). Go and teach him the 'Qingnang Jing' (a classic text on traditional Chinese opera)!"

"Yes, Master!"

The gentle and refined white-clad apprentice behind Huang Yaoshi nodded in acceptance.

He walked down the steps and smiled, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​come with me."

"Okay, okay, Second Senior Brother." Tian Yi'er's tense expression eased considerably when she saw the gentle white-robed apprentice.

Huang Yaoshi then said, "Shan'er, you lead the men in green robes to practice. Rusong, you come with me."

The burly white-robed apprentice and the tall, thin white-robed apprentice bowed their heads and accepted the order. The burly white-robed apprentice walked to the front of the group and sat down cross-legged as well. The tall, thin white-robed apprentice glanced coldly at Shen You and then left with Huang Yaoshi.

"Xiao Tian," Shen You asked curiously, "you haven't introduced me to the names of the three senior brothers in white robes yet?"

Just as Tian Yi'er was about to speak, the gentle white-robed apprentice beside her smiled and said, "My name is Song Zhiqing, and I should be considered your second senior brother. The imposing-looking man over there is our eldest senior brother, Yao Shan. The one who went with Master Huang is your third senior brother, Zhu Rusong."

"Oh, nice to meet you." Shen You nodded.

Yao Shan, Song Zhiqing, and Zhu Rusong were the three white-robed senior brothers of Huangfeng Academy.

"Second Senior Brother, are you going to teach Xiaotian the 'Qingnang Scripture'?" Shen You asked again.

He had heard of the "Qingnang Jing" in the outer courtyard; it seemed to be a very famous practice.

Song Zhiqing smiled and said, "As long as you become a Qingyi, you can cultivate the 'Qingnang Scripture,' which is the most famous cultivation method in our Renxin Hall. It has the effects of prolonging life and nourishing the body. If you can cultivate it to perfection, you can also make the five orifices clear, which is very beneficial for breaking through the second-grade 'Chongqiao' barrier."

"If Junior Brother Shen wants to learn, I can teach you."

Song Zhiqing's words were indeed like a gentle breeze, displaying the consistent demeanor of a well-bred young master, which naturally made people feel good about him.

Shen You smiled and said, "Not for now. I need to focus on cultivating the 'Qing Nang Jing' for the next seven days. I'll ask my second senior brother for guidance after I've survived the seven days."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiqing revealed a subtle expression: "Junior Brother Shen, although Master Huang is not very polite to outsiders, he always protects his own disciples and will not punish them easily... Junior Brother Shen, have you offended Master Huang in some way? If you are willing, I can take you to plead with Master Huang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen You interrupted him: "Maybe it's because I offended him just by being alive!"

"Huh?" Song Zhiqing looked slightly surprised.

Shen You didn't explain further, waving her hand and saying, "I'm going to practice my skills, we'll talk later!"

Shen You was still unsure of Huang Yaoshi's true feelings towards him. Did Huang Yaoshi genuinely want him to help him practice his skills, or did he covet his past life's identity and want to use him for something?

"My past life was also that of a refined young man like Song Zhiqing, hiding some secret..." Shen You thought coldly. "Old Ghost Huang, are you forcibly keeping me by your side because of my identity? You... could you be my mortal enemy hidden in Renxin Hall?"

Over there, everyone sat cross-legged, their bodies faintly glowing with a bluish light in the sunlight, clearly practicing the "Qing Nang Jing".

Shen You ignored them and started practicing the "Eight Transformations of the Golden Snake" on her own.

As soon as she got into position, Shen You felt something was off.

"Isn't everyone else meditating and I the only one practicing yoga?"

Isn't it... a little embarrassing?

"Whatever, it doesn't matter! Anyway, I'm handsome, so I can train for anything!"

Shen You pursed her lips, quickly putting aside her sense of shame.

……

East of the city.

Lin House.

In a refined and elegant courtyard, beside a pavilion with a small bridge and flowing water, a slender and graceful figure in white softly called out:

"Xiao Hui!"

"Miss, I'm here. What's wrong?"

A pretty and adorable little maidservant came running over with a cup of tea. She was running so fast that she spilled some tea without even realizing it.

The figure in white shook his head slightly, saying nothing more, but simply gave the order:

"I mentioned a couple of days ago that I would send some silver to Young Master Shen who stayed at Renxintang. Today I have prepared three hundred taels of silver. You can send it to him now."

She paused, then continued:

"From what you've said, Young Master Shen has lost his memory and seems to have become a hemp-cloth apprentice... There might be more to this than meets the eye. Why don't you inquire about it as well?"

"Yes, Miss! I guarantee I'll deliver the silver to Young Master Shen!"

When Xiao Hui heard that she could go out, her bright eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.

She can go out and play now, and she'll even go to Renxintang, her favorite place.

I can go there again to see the beautiful female apprentices in green robes!

If I were lucky enough to meet the white-robed apprentice, that would be even better!

"By the way, Young Master Shen is quite handsome too! It's just that he's changed a lot recently..."

The thought of seeing a whole bunch of handsome men soon made Xiao Hui's heart almost impatient; she wanted to fly to Renxintang.
